The setting of the game, where technology and magic are both in the same universe reminded me of how Elex' - an upcoming RPG made by your most esteemed piranha bytes - universe is set, though Elex also has primal warriors.
The game's aesthetic is pleasing, though not exactly special, to be honest, i'll give it a try and hopefully it retains the quality of XCom's turn based tactics or Divinity: Original Sin's creativity in ... well, everything, really. It'll also give me time before Divinity: Original Sin 2 comes out (Future review plans, eh?).
I gotta say however, I can't tell you how happy I am that I saw the words "Larian studios" and "Divinity", honestly, i'm a huge fan of the franchise, even though i haven't played divine divinity, I played all the other games, more than once. Hopefully I'll be making a game-review on Divinity: Original Sin that you can check out, after i'm done with the second play-through! Keep up the good work, my friend.
Glad you liked it. Stay tuned for the rest of Shadowrun September ;) I have played through Divinity: Original Sin both the first and the Enhanced Edition, unfortunately both times some other larger IRL things happened and I never got around to finishing them. I have been following development of Divinity: OS 2 and I am quite impressed with how well they've upgraded the elements that made the first so awesome. Unfortunately it's outside my budget - you'll notice I usually play and talk about more affordable indies - so I don't think I'll get to play it as it is released but I'll surely get to it eventually.
Maybe I'll beat you to the cake then, haha. I think that what makes divinity: Original Sin so friggin' awesome is the fact that - while you don't particularly have freedom of choice when it comes to the main quest - you do however have the biggest amount of freedom I've seen in any game in how to finish it.
Hopefully you'll get to play both games to completion sometime soon, they sure as hell deserve it!
I don't think I'll ever get the gaming time to go back to the first one. Hopefully I can play the second. The same thing goes for Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire. I played quite a chunk of the first but I was thoroughly annoyed by the gaming system. I thought it was too complex for complexity's sake, it didn't add depth, it was just annoying. I saw they fixed that in Tyranny - which I absolutely loved - and I think they fiddled with it quite a bit for Deadfire as well. So I'm actually more interested in playing the second entries in both franchises from a gameplay experience perspective :)
Well, at least you don't really have to play the first to play the second, different time-lines, different stories. Good luck!
